Aries- As Venus gets ready to exit your sign she will enter into a nice aspect with Mars in your House of Communication, meaning that you could be getting some good news regarding a matter you would like to see move forward. Shortly afterwards, both Venus and Mars will change signs, Venus going into her native sign of Taurus and Mars entering security oriented Cancer. This could signal a lucky break, especially since Uranus will also be involved, indicating that there may be an unexpected surprise in store in the form of a windfall return from a situation you were actually starting to worry about. While this all sounds good, don’t get too optimistic just yet. The Full Moon in power oriented Scorpio over the weekend will be in your House of Transformation where it will oppose a stable Taurus Sun, meaning that any sudden luck you experience could disappear just as suddenly if you start convincing yourself it is the new norm and begin slacking.

Taurus- With Mercury pulling closer to the Sun in your sign and charming Venus (your ruler) about to conjunct freaky Uranus, you could be experiencing quite an internal conflict between your naturally conformist nature and your equally natural sensuality. As a famous Occultist once said, “Sin is the word of restriction,” so don’t deny yourself your natural urges. As Mars move into your House of Communication and the emotional sign of Cancer, realize that if you deny yourself something on one level that urge will likely just end up leaking out somewhere else, which could be embarrassing. The Full Moon this week will be in your House of Relationships and the power oriented sign of Scorpio, meaning that if you won’t stand up and state your needs don’t expect anyone else to be a mind reader.

Gemini- Mars will leave your sign this week with a flourish as he aligns nicely with Venus in your House of Groups. This could make you quite popular, especially with Jupiter in your House of Relationships meeting up with a diplomatic Libra Moon midweek. Later on as Venus moves behind the scenes into the sensual sign of Taurus, Mars will enter your House of Self Worth and together these two should find you quite ambitious for both fun and material gratification. Add Uranus to this mix and you’ll probably be willing to do whatever it takes to get whatever you desire; just try not to dehumanize anyone in the process, after all, when you treat people like objects they tend to resent it and with Saturn and Pluto still retrograde in your House of Shared Resources you can’t afford to alienate anyone from your cause at this time.

Cancer- With a stellium of planets in your House of Friends now you may be feeling like there is not enough of you to go around. Among this group are the Sun and Mercury, who together will likely have you feeling obligated, while on the other hand Venus and Uranus arm in arm could attract every freak in the vicinity to your mothering nature. Try to take advantage of Mars when he enters your sign later in the week to find the strength to say “no” to the energy vampires and lazy slobs who would otherwise suck you dry. There are those who will truly need your kindness and compassion at this time, just try to differentiate them from the users and abusers. The Full Moon this week will be in your House of Creativity, which could find you either sublimating your natural creative urges into satisfying others needs or else running away to someplace remote where you can be alone and paint your masterpiece. Don’t feel guilty about doing whatever feels right.

Leo- With the Sun, Mercury, Uranus, and Venus all in the stable sign of Taurus and your House of Career, this is a time when you need to suck it up and do whatever is necessary to get yourself ahead. Of course Taurus can also be a lazy sign, so make sure you’re aware that your complacency could be your biggest enemy right now, especially if you find yourself making excuses for not getting out of a situation that you know sucks and you have been trashing non-stop for a while now. The longer you put off what needs to be done on the career front the harder this weeks eventual Full Moon is going to be, especially since it’s occurring in your House of Symbolic Foundations and opposing the aforementioned Sun in your House of Career. It’s important for you to realize that while this is not a particularly comfortable time for you, it is a period that you will eventually look back on and be glad you did all the practical stuff you didn’t want to.

Virgo- The more desperately you try to hold on now to a person or situation that is changing away from you, the more that individual or circumstance will buck like a wild bronco at a rodeo. Like the song say’s, “Man, ain’t that a kick in the head,” yet it doesn’t need to be. Jupiter retrograde in your Foundations Area and Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Creativity can help you to let go of a job or relationship that isn’t working, but not if you feel you need to win whatever the argument has been and prove the other person wrong. Nobody’s right or wrong, things just need to change. As Venus and Mars enter new signs and your Houses of Philosophy and Dreams respectively, the potential is there for you to finally be who you are without apologies or excuses, the price though will be to extricate yourself from whoever or whatever has been holding you back. The Full Moon in your House of Communication and the passionate sign of Scorpio will be all about speaking your truth to whomever with no reservations…..So, what are you waiting for? Start singing that body electric!

Libra- This is a time when what you’re experiencing will provide the subject matter for stories that will eventually make others laugh and think, even though what’s going on now in your life may, in fact, be making you quite frustrated. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and crazy, unpredictable Uranus are all marching through your House of Transformation, which likely feels both uncomfortably weird and like it’s taking forever. Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your Foundations Area is no doubt further warping your sense of time, while Neptune in your House of Daily Routines is completely messing with your ability to get a clear read on anything. Nonetheless you are still both driven and creative at this time (believe it or not) and if you think I’m shitting you all I ask is that you try to remain patient (a dirty word) and stay focused on your goals until Jupiter finally goes direct again in August. I know this sounds like a prediction, but in actuality it’s only a matter of you having faith in yourself. “You gotta believe!”

Scorpio- Did you ever think you’d be so popular (and loved)? The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus are all going through your House of Relationships now, which means if you’re not the center of attention yet then you’re about to be. This will be both good and bad as Saturn and Pluto are both retrograde in your House of Communications and aligning with Neptune in your House of Creativity, meaning that while some people you might be dealing with now could have an agenda, it’s more likely that the folks who are stepping up to help are doing it because they truly like and respect you. Jupiter in your House of Earned Income is currently retrograde, so don’t expect to see the light at the end of the tunnel yet if your income has lagged in the face of some mounting bills. As the Full Moon in your sign later in the week opposes all those previously mentioned Taurus Planets, try instead to look at your current emotional support system as all wealth you need; as the song goes, “Baby, you’re a Rich Man…”

Sagittarius- If your health (or appearance) has been a concern of late, then now would be the time to take action and try to establish a new regimen for yourself as the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus are all in your House of Health. Add to this Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Self Worth and you might actually have the discipline now to stick to whatever program you start. Jupiter retrograde in your sign can also contribute to rebuilding your vanity if you take his lead and imagine bigger things (or conversely a smaller appearance) for yourself. As Mars pulls into your House of Transformation your energy should be high for the rest of the month, so make sure you capitalize on the Warrior Planet’s strength and determination to establish something good for your sense of health and well being at this time.

Capricorn- e.e. cummings once wrote, “let all go dear/so comes love” and with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus all in your House of Creativity banging around like dice in a cup, perhaps this is the time you should let things roll and see what happens? Mars entering your House of Relationships could be about reaching out (if you let it) while Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your sign could be about fundamental change (if you’d accept it) both of which are admittedly a gamble, but to win it you gotta be in it. Neptune in your House of Communications and Jupiter retrograde behind the scenes are both about letting something happen as opposed to making something happen, which is a hard thing for an action oriented sign like you to understand, so perhaps you could think of it this way, it takes more confidence to wait for the right time than it does to rush ahead in hopes of finding the right time.

“Patiently waiting

Like a dew drop hanging from

A banana leaf”

Aquarius- No one ever expects an earthquake, yet when the dishes start rattling on the shelves it would probably be prudent to get under a doorpost as soon as possible and wait until the world seems stable again. I’m mentioning this because with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus all in your House of Foundations along with Saturn and Pluto retrograde behind the scenes, if it feels like your world is shaking you should probably accept it and head for the nearest doorpost. Of course Mars entering your House of Routines will likely have you feeling anxious at this time, especially as it angles with Uranus, however, rather than rushing in where angels fear to tread, perhaps you should instead follow Neptune’s lead as it crosses through your House of Self Worth and simply try to find a place where you can best wait out the current circumstances until you can fully assess the damage.

Pisces- If your emotions seem to be overwhelming you now and there is something you need to say to someone special but don’t know how to begin, then perhaps you should engage your artistic abilities and look to create a metaphor of whatever it is you’re feeling. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus all in your House of Communication and lining up nicely with Mars entering your House of Creativity, your message will likely be more poignant now if you can trust your intuition to connect the dots rather than trying to edit yourself and avoid any potential vulnerability. Neptune in your sign represents the soul of the poet and as it aligns with Saturn and Pluto retrograde you are especially in tune now with another’s wavelength, therefore, let your energy and its honest expression speak for you now rather than attempting to explain the unexplainable or eff the ineffable.

Aries- Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Career are likely stalling your ambitions from moving forward at this time, which undoubtedly offends your usual full speed ahead mentality. Mercury and Uranus in your House of Self Worth will be conjunct by the middle of the week, no doubt fueling anxiety and motivating you to start venting on somebody if shit doesn’t start moving along the way it should. It is important now to try and remain patient and remember the old adage, “All things must pass.” Let Venus in your sign and Mars in your House of Communication give you a little tutorial on persuasion and charm, which will probably work out a lot better than smashing someone over the head with what you want them to do.

Taurus- Your usually placid nature could end up becoming quite anxiety ridden at this time as two very volatile planets that rule the nervous system, Mercury and Uranus, pass through your sign. The unsettledness of also having both Saturn and Pluto retrograde together in your House of Philosophy isn’t helping much, as those two will serve to either make you want to flee like a rat from a sinking ship or else set the house on fire for the insurance. Of course neither extreme is useful, so try and listen as charming Venus behind the scenes and Mars in your House of Self Worth attempt to motivate you to be resourceful and, most importantly, optimistic. Listen to Neptune in your House of Dreams as he aligns with a Cancer Moon midweek to try and steer you toward the high road…….and no, that doesn’t mean you should self medicate.

Gemini- Mercury and Uranus behind the scenes could motivate you to try and continue with a disingenuous strategy in regards to getting your way in a particular situation. At the same time, Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Transformation aligning with Neptune in your House of Public Image could end up making any subterfuges you attempt at this time appear quite transparent to anyone who is paying attention; in short, it’s likely that no one will believe your lies right now other than you, so a word to the wise…come clean and the mess in question may end up being manageable on the back end. Venus in your House of Groups and Mars in your sign will give you plenty of energy, although try to utilize this power slowly and steadily with a methodical plan rather than firing random shots in the air and hoping to hit something.

Cancer- The way things are now could be quite stressful for you as both Mercury and Uranus, the nervous system twins, come together to hold hands in your House of Groups. This doesn’t necessarily have to be like running into the two creepy little girls from “The Shining,” particularly if you can decide to focus instead on keeping a smile on your face, especially as Venus passes through your House of Public Image and aligns with Mars behind the scenes. If you can adopt a “kill them with kindness” attitude, then you just might stand a chance as Saturn and Pluto ravage your House of Open Enemies and cause some long term adversaries to shoot themselves in the foot instead of abusing you with their hubris. You will be having a personal New Moon this week as well, so let Neptune in your House of Philosophy lead you beyond a need for childish emotional safety to the higher ground of spiritual enlightenment. Namaste.

Leo- As a fixed sign you like things to be regular and dependable, although right now with Mercury and Uranus colliding in your House of Career things on the job are anything but, especially as the Moon in your sign during the week could see you losing control of yourself if someone else’s incompetence ends up foiling any of your well laid plans for the coming weekend. If you find yourself asking in exasperation, “what am I doing in this madhouse,” don’t expect either Saturn or Pluto in your House of Routines to tell you what you’d like to hear, particularly with Neptune in your House of Transformation waiting around for things to change on their own when you need to change them yourself.

Virgo- Have you had enough yet? Mercury and Uranus skidding into each other in your House of Philosophy would indicate that perhaps you have, particularly with Venus in your House of Transformation squaring off against both Saturn and Pluto in your House of Creativity, making it hard to continue doing the same thing over and over while hoping for a different outcome. On the other hand, Jupiter retrograde in your House of Foundations is aligning quite beneficially with Venus, meaning that perhaps the universal plan all along was that you’d need to get pissed off before you would actually act in your own best interest and do something different? Maybe up until now it was just easier to complain and remain complacent? As the Sun aligns with Neptune in your House of Relationships (and Open Enemies) perhaps now you’re seeing exactly how a partner has been manipulating you by acting like they’re so disappointed all the time?

Libra- With the Sun, Mercury, and Uranus all going through your House of Transformation, expect the unexpected this week. Venus in your House of Relationships will be aligning with lucky Jupiter as it retrogrades through your House of Communication, meaning that perhaps there is a good chance that a seed you sowed sometime in the past may actually bear some surprising fruit. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Foundations have been sounding the death knell on the old you and the outmoded circumstances of your past, so is it really a surprise that eventually a dark night of the soul would turn into a brand new day as the world turns? Mars in your House of Philosophy would indicate that if something does unexpectedly change for the better, you’d do well to be ready to hop aboard that tramp steamer as it sets sail to some unexpected destination where the new you awaits!

Scorpio- Having both Uranus and Mercury conjunct in your House of Relationships now might mean that somebody close may surprise you this week, which could be either a good thing or a bad thing. Neptune in your House of Creativity and Fun aligning with Mercury could mean that you’ll weather this surprise with the necessary aplomb, although you may still be weirded out by the circumstances anyway. Venus in your House of Health aligning nicely with Jupiter retrograde in your House of Self Worth could have you finally understanding the cumulative effects of a course you’ve been pursuing for a while, meaning that where once your life had seemed rudderless, now you’re following a definite course due north to feeling better. As the Lunar Arc transits across the top of your chart expect to be a little more in demand than usual, although over the weekend you may just want to do your own thing despite the good intentions of others……No worries.

Sagittarius- Jupiter retrograde in your sign this week will be aligning with charming Venus in your House of Creativity and Romance, so don’t be surprised if an old flame resurfaces with a new box of matches. Of course at the same time Venus will also be squaring both Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Self Worth, therefore, make sure that this blast from the past isn’t looking to burn down your self esteem again rather than toasting marshmallows next to a cozy fire. Mercury and Uranus together in your House of Routines could be the writing on the wall that this aforementioned individual will be a disruptive influence indeed, although that may be just what you need to determine once and for all whose interests should start coming first in your interactions with others. You can do bad all by yourself.

Capricorn- Responsibilities, responsibilities, responsibilities, so what else is new? Mars in your House of Routines aligning with Venus at your Foundation may have you craving an escape from your perceived servitude, although Jupiter retrograde behind the scenes aligning with the aforementioned couple might try to suggest that it’s not an escape you need but rather peace of mind. Neptune in your House of Thinking and Short Journey’s will likely suggest meditation or some other esoteric modality and you should probably give it a try if it seems like it might help. Why? Because as Mercury and Uranus bump into each other in your House of Creativity you could encounter a bizarre challenge that has transcendence written all over it if you can just see the forest for the trees. “Somewhere over the rainbow” could be somewhere inside of yourself if you can just manage to experience your mind for once as something other than a dictionary of pejorative terms.

Aquarius- As the Sun, Mercury, and Uranus all pass through your House of Home and Family, you may find yourself feeling very anxious about the security of you and yours. Of course it sucks to feel this way, but with Mars in your House of Creativity, Venus in your House of Communication, and Jupiter retrograde in your House of Dreams and Groups, perhaps the only way your hopes for safety can come true is if you are motivated to follow your intuition out of the box of fearful logic that has you trapped in a past that no longer exists? Of course Saturn and Pluto retrograde have a lot to do with this negative motivation, so rather than partaking in it again, why don’t you instead recognize how doing the same thing over and over hasn’t gotten the result you wanted? No doubt faith will have more than a little bit to do with your ability to change, so as Neptune enters your House of Self Worth be ready to turn paranoia into perceptiveness with a little help from your friends.

Pisces- Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Groups squaring Venus in your House of Self Worth could have you feeling very insecure about being judged harshly in the future, or even failing to attain a goal you’ve set for yourself. On the other hand, Jupiter retrograde in your House of Career aligning nicely with Venus would probably indicate that you’re better prepared than you think for any challenges that may be awaiting you. That’s not to say though that shit won’t get weird, or even crazy, particularly with Mercury and Uranus joining together in your House of Communication and local activities. The trick here is to realize that state of mind is everything, especially as Neptune in your sign lines up with a very practical Sun in Taurus and your House of Thinking. As a famous Occultist used to say, “It’s all in your head, you just don’t know how big your head is.”

Aries- Mercury and Venus in your sign now aligning with Mars in your House of Communication will have you schmoozing with anyone who’ll listen, although with Saturn and Pluto both retrograde in your House of Career don’t necessarily expect anything substantial to come from all your networking. Jupiter is retrograde as well in your House of Philosophy and for a brief time he will align with Mercury, meaning that for all the attention you’re trying to garner around what you’re doing, perhaps you should instead consider revamping any upcoming presentations so that they’re more likely to express who you truly are rather than what you think others want to hear With individualistic Uranus, the Sun, and a New Moon in your House of Self Worth, this is a time when you should just be yourself without any apologies……Do you and do it proud!

Taurus- This week the New Moon is in your sign along with iconoclastic Uranus, meaning that this is a time for you to move forward into some new territory, whatever that may entail. Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Philosophy represent the writing on the wall in regards to what no longer is working out the way you’d like, so as they both align with Neptune in your House of Dreams why don’t you try to let circumstances influence you toward considering something completely different rather than just a minor variation on a familiar theme that you’ve become far too comfortable with? Mercury and Venus behind the scenes lining up with Mars in your House of Self Worth could serve to stimulate some unexpected impatience at this time that may very well likely end up turning into a real itch for adventure that needs to be scratched…..So, what are you waiting for?

Gemini- Mars in your sign now is a real motivator and as he aligns with Mercury and Venus in your House of Dreams be willing to step out of your comfort zone. Saturn and Pluto are doing their own unique brand of Chaos Magick in your House of Transformation, so be willing to accept fortuitous accidents instead of bemoaning that your expectations haven’t been met. Neptune in your House of Career squaring Venus is a very definite warning not to sh*t where you eat, so steer clear of that sexy new stranger at work; there may be lots of overtime, but it won’t pay. The New Moon this week will be behind the scenes for you and with rebellious Uranus there as well be careful not to bite your nose off to spite your face just because someone pisses you off. Take a deep breath and move on, or else hold your breath to get what you want until you pass out, it’s up to you.

Cancer- With this week’s New Moon in your House of Dreams it may be time for you to re-evaluate your hopes and aspirations for the future. Saturn and Pluto retrograde in your House of Partnerships will no doubt have you reviewing past disappointments, however, try not to let that get you down, although that may be tough with Mars behind the scenes still squaring Neptune in your House of Philosophy and making it seem like a real uphill climb just to be able to hold the line. Jupiter retrograde in your House of Work could be a bummer if you let it, although on the other hand it could also serve as a boost if you’re willing to focus on your Health instead of whatever you don’t have. After all, health is wealth so make sure you’re not taking it for granted. As far as the other circumstances you’re worrying about, that’ll all eventually change, just like it always does.

Leo- The New Moon this week is in your House of Career, which could signal a new beginning, especially since Uranus is also in your House of Career, although in the case of Uranus a new beginning could be something radical like an explosion rather than something benign, like an unexpected new dessert being served for dinner. Either way be ready for a change, particularly with Saturn and Pluto both retrograde in your House of Routines acting like a pair of terrorists regarding anything boring or easy in your life. Jupiter retrograde in your House of Creativity opposing Mars in your House of Dreams is likely asking you to reconsider what you have been giving up in exchange for safety and, even more important, what has this compromise been keeping you safe from? The unexpected? Yourself? As I said at the beginning get ready for something different. Different is good. Got it?

Virgo- Both the New Moon and Uranus in your House of Philosophy may have you concerned about just how stable your life is on various levels. With Neptune in your House of Partnerships squaring Mars in your House of Career and Public Image, some people may start judging you very harshly based on the company you keep. If you can’t understand how some of these characters you hob nob with are a problem then you may be in for a surprise, especially as Jupiter retrograde begins moving backwards into an opposition with Mars creating blowback from someone you can’t afford to alienate. Venus and Mercury in your House of Transformation are about transparency, so stop trying to tell people what isn’t their business and instead start acting like you have nothing to hide. If you’re clean they’ll just shut up, if you’re not then you’d better take the fifth and try to find the best lawyer you can.

Libra- The New Moon this week will be in your House of Transformation loosely aligning with Neptune in your House of Routines, meaning that you could gain a valuable insight now into something that you’ve been overlooking. Saturn and Pluto at your Foundation have been trying to get you to see the importance of changing your perspective on life, although like most folks nothing short of a crisis will make you pay attention to something you’d rather not deal with. But don’t get all depressed, whatever is about to change will be for the better if you’re willing to accept it and take action. Mars in your House of Philosophy should help to motivate you as Jupiter retrograde in your House of Communication brings you good news about something you may have invested in a while back and forgotten about. If luck starts falling from the trees make sure you’re paying attention so you can bend down and pick it up.

Scorpio- Mars going through your House of Transformation and squaring Neptune in your House of Creativity could be blinding you now in regards to the possibilities of things better in your life. On the other hand, the New Moon in your House of Relationships is having a much more beneficial association with Neptune, so if you can come out form under that little rain cloud that’s been following you around you’ll see that you have a really great support system that’s not going to let you fade away into a dark little cocoon of depression. Mercury and Venus in your House of Health are like wise having a much better relationship with Mars than Neptune is, so if you’re willing to do what it takes to make things better then you’ll probably earn the privilege to look back on this time and understand it was the Universe showing you what you were made of, rather than the end of the good times.

Sagittarius- The New Moon will be in your House of Health this week aligning with Neptune at your Foundation, meaning that if you’re willing to make the effort then you could manage to lose weight, or get into better shape, or lick an uncomfortable malady that’s been plaguing you for a while. The operative term here is willing, especially with Mercury and Mars aligning in your Houses of Creativity and Partnerships respectively, which undoubtedly together speak to seeking help through a mentor or support group to aid in starting to bring about some beneficial changes into your life. Jupiter is your ruling planet and it is expansive by nature, but since it’s retrograde now, you need to look at this time in your life as a period for reflection rather than answers, so that when Jupiter eventually goes direct your naturally adventurous nature can move forward unfettered.

Capricorn- The New Moon this week is in your House of Creativity and it will be aligning with Neptune in your House of Communication. This is a particularly visionary influence, so if you’ve got any bright new ideas it’s very important that you put them to paper, or canvas, or into photoshop, or wherever, in order to have them on record for further possible development in the future. Mercury and Venus racing through your Foundation area should make you particularly resourceful at this time, especially since they are both aligning with Mars in your House of Routines and providing a surplus of energy for just about anything you want to do. Of course Saturn and Pluto are still in your sign and since they’re both retrograde now this is undoubtedly an editing face in your life, therefore, be willing to change what needs to be changed in order for one of those visions we started out discussing to manifest into a reality.

Aquarius- The New Moon at your Foundation will be aligning with Neptune in your House of Self Worth, which means that you can afford to reveal your softer side at this time. Now some may be surprised by this sensitive side of you, but how do you feel about it? Particularly since you’ve been cultivating this “badass” image ever since Saturn and Pluto have been shredding your ego behind the scenes and you’ve misinterpreted it by feeling a need to overcompensate. Mercury and Venus in your House of Communication is making you a silver tongued devil now and as they both line up with Mars in your House of Creativity, you could end up really waxing poetic in spite of yourself. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the world will only be surprised you’re a mensch if you’re surprised by it. Are you?

Pisces- Some recent challenges may have you feeling on shaky ground as Mars at your Foundation squares Neptune in your sign. The antidote for this should be the New Moon in your House of Communication aligning with Neptune in the form of some good news or a lucky break that allows you some extra breathing room in regards to a deadline for an assignment or an overdue bill. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Groups are now both retrograde, so it is important that you tie up any remaining loose ends, especially with Jupiter also retrograde in your House of Career. This is a cycle in your life that is not yet about an end or a beginning, but rather about how comfortable you are with yourself within the vacuum of any given moment as it unfolds. As the saying goes, “Be Here Now,” and you will always be exactly where you should be.

Aries- Mercury and Venus in your sign should make you a bit of a chatty Kathy this week, especially since Mars (your ruling planet) is also in your House of Communication. At the same time, the Sun will be conjunct with Uranus in your House of Self Worth, perhaps transforming an initial desire for chit-chat into some downright outspokenness. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Public Image is about loss and gain, so maybe it’s about time for you to shed an inherited image that is safe and exchange it for one that represents the truth of who you are? Neptune behind the scenes could have you doubting yourself and worrying if anyone could ever love you as you really are, but there’s only one way to find out, and with Jupiter retrograde in your House of Philosophy don’t necessarily assume things can’t or won’t change from what they were.

Taurus- With the Sun and Uranus currently in your sign you may seem more rebellious than those around you are used to, however, with Mercury and Venus behind the scenes your desire is not to simply disrupt things, but to actually create a better situation for everyone involved. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Philosophy and Neptune in your House of Groups are the brain trust and humanitarian force behind your recent uncharacteristic aggressiveness, and as they work together be willing to push the envelope in a matter that you’re convinced needs to change. You’re the visionary here so don’t let someone else with an ax to grind talk you into thinking you need to examine your conscience. “I see said the blind man, but he couldn’t see at all.”

Gemini- Mars in your sign is making you feel invincible and Mercury in the aggressive sign of Aries is probably causing you to shoot your mouth off more than you should. I know you’re feeling it, but don’t be surprised if there’s some scorching blow back as a result. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Transformation will require you to be responsible for everything you say, which should not be taken lightly, especially with Neptune in your House of Public Image creating an air of suspicion as to what your actual motives may be. The Sun and Uranus behind the scenes could be either an “I don’t give a shit” attitude on your part, or someone else’s “Screw You” sentiments, neither one though bodes well for a stable and balanced future if you stay on your current course.

Cancer- The landscape all around you is changing so it’s time to change your M.O. as well. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Partnerships is about letting shit go and building a new future, while Neptune in your House of Philosophy is about enlightenment, meaning you’re no longer the person you were so don’t go thinking things will always turn out the way they once did. Mercury and Venus in your House of Career should motivate you to get out there and start looking for opportunities, while at the same time the Sun and Uranus in your House of Groups will be motivating you to get out there and proudly “Do You”…..whatever that may mean. Mars behind the scenes could be either a distraction or a motivating force, so let’s hope Jupiter retrograde in your House of Work will help you to understand your recent experiences so that you’ll be able to use their lessons wisely.

Leo- What do you want to be when you grow up? You may be doing one thing to pay the bills, while at the same time dreaming or dabbling in something else to satisfy your soul. With the Sun and Uranus in your House of Career, now would be a good time to explore a secret (or not so secret) passion and see if you can make a buck at it. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Work will prevent you from getting too crazy with this, while at t he same time Neptune in your House of Transformation will help you to explore the possibility of experimenting with a vision in order to see if it’s a possibility for the future. The mantra of Mercury and Venus in your House of Philosophy will be, “Why not?” while at the same time Mars in your House of Dreams will be saying, “Go for it.” With that much popular opinion in favor for trying something new, how can you not run your idea up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it?

Virgo- If it feels like a fog has enveloped you and a partner so that almost nothing seems clear anymore in your interactions then it probably means that Neptune in your House of Relationships is calling in its I.O.U’s. If you would hope to keep this situation under your control, then communication will be imperative. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Romance were initially the culprits who brought this whole subject up, although now that it’s in crisis mode these two will also offer the insights to deal with any issues that you thought Neptune would help you sweep under the rug. Mercury and Venus in your House of Transformation is about directly acknowledging how you and your partner are different and why this has secretly annoyed both of you to no end. It’s strange that things have gotten to this point, especially since your differences were initially what drew you to one another. It’s a thin line between love and hate, so try and be mathematical and imagine an infinite line…..Then work to stay on it.

Libra- The Sun and Uranus in your House of Transformation are compelling you now to move forward into uncharted territories, and although you are not entirely sure of where it is you’re going, somehow it feels right…..or does it? If change brought what we already knew then it wouldn’t be change, would it? Saturn and Pluto have been rebuilding you from the inside out for a while and Neptune has been disappearing things out of your life like a fist when you open your hand, but to what end? Who’s to say, although with Mercury and Venus in your House of Partnerships and Mars in your House of Philosophy you should be willing to let yourself be influenced by situations and ideas that don’t seem so cut and dry in order to develop some new ideas of your own. “Cha, cha, cha, changes……turn and face the strain.”

Scorpio- As Mars passes through your House of Transformation and squares Neptune in your House of Fun, it would be very easy for you now to fall into a funk about your current circumstances. On the other hand, Mercury and Venus in your House of Health and the Sun and Uranus in your House of Relationships are working overtime together to counteract any hang dog attitude you might currently possess by instead providing an antidote of love and support that should end up lasting you far longer than whatever challenges you may be currently facing. In addition, Saturn and Pluto are pitching in to help you rebuild in this unstable time as they transform the illusions of Neptune and Mars into the brick and mortar of a new life that lies ahead. “Do not go gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Sagittarius- Jupiter retrograde now in your sign marks a time when reflection on certain matters would serve you well. Let’s begin with Neptune transiting through your House of Home and Family. This could be a particularly insidious influence, especially since it is now squaring Mars in your House of Relationships, meaning that it would be very important for you to consider how your family’s demands over the years has influenced your current relationship (or lack thereof). Contrast that with Mercury and Venus going through your House of Fun and Romance, which are in beneficial aspect to the aforementioned Mars in your Relationships area, and maybe the time has come for you to acknowledge all you’ve denied yourself because of another’s needs? Saturn and Pluto in your House of Self Worth are there for you as well if you decide you want to experiment with some tough love (for them) and TLC (for you). Do it and it will be so.

Capricorn- I’m going to keep it upbeat this week, I promise. Let’s start off with the Sun and Uranus in your House of Creativity and Romance. So, what do you want, creative freedom or a stimulating fling? Either is within the realm of possibilities with these two if you’re willing to get out there and engage. On the other hand, Jupiter retrograde behind the scenes may have you feeling a little guilty about indulging yourself, but since that’s your usual M.O. all Mercury and Venus would have to say to that is “boring” as they align with virile Mars in your House of Health to promote the age old maxim, “All work and no play makes Jack (Jill) a dull boy (girl). The Moon will begin it’s Lunar Arc this week in your sign, but as the days go by it will progress into your Houses of Self Worth and Communication respectively, thereby motivating you to get out there and engage, which brings us back to where we started with the Sun and Uranus…….Party!!!

Aquarius- You usually have lots of ideas, but this week with Mars in your House of Creativity aligning with Mercury and Venus in your House of Communication the time has come for you to focus on one thing and run with it. Of course Neptune in your House of Self Worth will make the argument not to limit yourself, but the reality is that the time has come for you to deal with the Psychology of how you avoid testing your confidence by being unwilling to focus on one thing at a time and then seeing it through. Deep, huh? The Sun and Uranus going through your House of Foundations could help a lot with this, but of course you’ll have to face what the nature of rebellion has really been about for you; needing to be yourself, or needing the attention of others? Go ahead, sit down, would you like a glass of water? I know this is a lot.

Pisces- Your desire for change is strong right now, almost as strong as your fear of it. Which of the two will win? Mars at your Foundation is shaking things up, but as long as it squares Neptune in your sign you won’t leave your comfort zone. On the other hand, Mercury and Venus in your House of Self Worth are tickling you and creating an itch that must be scratched. The Sun and Uranus together in Taurus now are a revolutionary pair, however revolution for its own sake is madness, there must also be an overall holistic need to change and then the subsequent turmoil becomes the process of natural selection instead of the process of destruction. Jupiter in your House of Career has you dreaming (and longing) but since the King of the Planets is retrograde now, perhaps he’s urging you to err on the side of caution and be patient for the time being with the process of change rather than the mere fantasies results?

Aries- With Mercury and Venus both entering your sign this week, plus a Full Moon in partnership oriented Libra, it would be a good idea for you to be out there schmoozing it up and being fabulous. The Sun entering your House of Self Worth and joining hands with Uranus is a further indication that not only do you need to be out there, but it is also imperative for you to be doing your own thing. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Career have been putting you through some steps as of late, however, the ability to dot every “i” and cross every “t” in whatever you’re doing will eventually bring you all your hoped for rewards in due time. Mars in your House of Communication and the adaptable sign of Gemini would further indicate a need to remain flexible……so let’s see that stretch……one, two…..one two.

Taurus- As the week develops, there may be a slight disconnect between what you’d like to do and what you have to do. Mercury and Venus behind the scenes will have you daydreaming of everything from sitting on the beach with a piña colada to watching a great performance at Lincoln Center, while the Full Moon in your House of Work and Routines will be providing a steady stream of responsibilities that will demand your attention. What could make this even more stressful is that the Sun will be entering your sign this week and conjuncting rebellious Uranus, an aspect under which it will be very hard for to do anything you’re not feeling. The ultimate determinant though may turn out to be Saturn and Pluto in your House of Philosophy enforcing that old school work ethic you were raised with……Heave ho….O-lee-o…….Heave ho…..O-lee-o.

Gemini- Mars in your sign is certainly giving you a boost right now although the question is, are you using this energy to pull things together or are you just getting distracted? Mercury and Venus entering your House of Groups will no doubt see you in demand and busy, busy, busy, while the Full Moon in your House of Creativity could require you to partner up with someone you generally don’t like but who could really end up helping you. The Sun and Uranus coming together behind the scenes could make it very hard for you to pretend to be something you’re not, although with Neptune in your House of Public Image no one really knows who you are anyway, right? Best to err here on the side of caution here and let Jupiter retrograde in your House of Partnerships lead you to a more enlightened way of dealing with people……In other words, don’t act like you know everything when you don’t.

Cancer- With Mercury and Venus entering your House of Public Image this week you will be sparkling more than usual. Combine that with the Full Moon in Libra and you could end up being quite popular now. Jupiter retrograde in your House of Health will likely have you focusing on your appearance, so if you’d like to lose some weight or be in better shape now is the time to get some beneficial routines going. Mars behind the scenes will probably be spurring you on to get a million things done, while Neptune in your House of Philosophy could be making you feel like you’re not getting anything done. The truth is somewhere in the middle, so just make sure you’re doing what you think is important, especially since The Sun meeting up with Uranus in your House of Dreams won’t let you waste your time if you’re not feeling it.

Leo- As Venus and Mercury enter your House of Philosophy and The Sun and Uranus come together in your House of Public Image, you may just stop giving a shit what other people think of you and finally start being serious about how you think of yourself. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Routines have been dumping a lot of changes in your way and at the same time Neptune in your House of Transformation has turned you into a bit of a doormat in so far as not wanting to step on anyone’s toes. Subservient doesn’t fit your sign very well, so why don’t you try listening to Mars in your House of Groups as he tries to light a fire under your ass in regards to pushing back for your own self interests? The Full Moon will be passing through the Via Combusta or “Fiery Way” this week, so continue speaking softly if you’d like, but make sure you also have a big stick handy and you’re willing to use it.

Virgo- With Neptune in your House of Relationships aligning with Saturn and Pluto in your House of Creativity, you may be thinking to yourself, “I’ve been following the rules like a good camper and being patient for a while, yet nothing seems to be changing? If that’s the case then as The Sun and Uranus come together in your House of Philosophy and Mercury and Venus enter your House of Transformation, it may just be time for you to give someone the finger and do what you damn well feel like. Why not? Being patient wasn’t a waste, so don’t feel foolish, instead you were actually building momentum so that the finger you’ve just expressed yourself with will be more like a “tally-ho” than a “shove it” and, since we all know how important it is for you to be nice, that means you’ll actually get the chance to have your cake and eat it too. You go girl (or guy)!!!

Libra- As the Moon goes gloriously full this week at a karmic degree in your sign and Mercury and Venus enter your House of Partnerships, be willing to reach out a little more than you’re used to; you might just get a surprise. The Sun and Uranus will be joining together in your House of Transformation, so make sure you’re not looking at needing help as a sign of weakness, after all, those two together are entirely about uniqueness and innovation, meaning that people may be willing to be of assistance to you because you can benefit them as well. As Mars in your House of Philosophy pulls ever closer to Neptune in your House of Work, you may feel a sense of foreboding, like you’re heading in the wrong direction or something is going to go awry. Try to keep in mind that those two are the glass half empty twins and every wise person knows the glass is neither half empty nor half full…..it’s just half. If you don’t believe me then ask Saturn and Pluto in your House of Foundation, those two have been downloading a whole lot of reality to you over the past months. Try to breathe and keep the faith.

Scorpio- Mercury and Venus entering your House of Health this week could bring you some good news if you’ve been feeling under the weather. Combine that with a Full Moon behind the scenes in the balanced sign of Libra and you may actually find that for the first time in a while you have hope for a better future, even if right now you don’t really feel all that great. The Sun and Uranus in your House of Partnerships could see you doing a 360 in a friendship, especially if another person hasn’t really been all that much of a friend recently in your time of need. After all, you can do bad all by yourself. Jupiter retrograde in your House of Self Worth may have you looking at life a lot differently now as you contemplate all you’ve been through recently, while Mars (your ruling planet) in your House of Death and Transformation is there to get you through this, just try to take it easy and let the healing begin.

Sagittarius- As Jupiter goes retrograde in your sign this may be a time when you have to take one step back before you can go two steps forward. Mercury and Venus will be entering your House of Creativity and as they offer you a flood of new ideas, the Full Moon in your House of Dreams and the balanced sign of Libra will require you to do some editing first before charging forward with any inspirations. The Sun and Uranus in your House of Routines could find you either streamlining one of your daily drudgeries or abandoning it all together, after all, sometimes progress is about getting rid of shit that’s in the way instead of just adding something new because you’re bored. Of course Saturn and Pluto are still there in your House of Self Worth, so if you can keep in mind that less is more perhaps a little more self confidence will be your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Capricorn- I promise that this week I won’t mention Saturn and Pluto in your sign……whoops, sorry. What you no doubt need is some inspiration, right? Okay, then let’s discuss this week’s Full Moon in your House of Career, especially since it’s opposing both Mercury and Venus entering your House of Foundations, meaning that if you can work yourself up into being a little more social than usual there could be some real surprises in store. The Sun and Uranus are coming together in your House of Creativity and Fun, so if you’re feeling inspired to write your masterpiece or drink a whole bottle of wine by yourself then do it (preferably not together though if you ever want to look at what you did afterwards and not feel dumb). But I digress, after all, we’re talking about hope here, right? With Mars in your House of Health if you really want to feel better you oughta just go out and exercise; run around, chop some wood, just don’t let shit fester inside you right now, okay?

Aquarius- Has anyone ever accused you of not listening? I mean why would they, right? But just for arguments sake let’s just say that someone at some time has said that to you. Well, with the Full Moon this week in your House of Philosophy opposing Mercury and Venus in your House of Communication, you may just be more inclined to use your ears now rather than your voice. In fact, with Saturn and Pluto behind the scenes you should be especially sharp at this time so, if someone does try to sell you any snake oil you’ll be able to deconstruct their BS immediately, provided of course you were listening. Now do you get it? It’s not about letting anyone else take center stage away from you, instead it’s about Jedi mind tricks and breaking out of your comfort zone, which The Sun and Uranus will be right there to help you with. Mr. Saturn hasn’t shared a Haiku in a while, but here’s one for you;

“The Silence is the

Teacher whose approval we

Most benefit from”

Pisces- As Mercury and Venus go through your House of Self Worth, you may feel a burning need to express your opinion in a touchy situation, however, with the Full Moon in your House of Sharing it may be the better part of valor for you to keep your mouth shut and let someone else discover something on their own time. As The Sun and Mars move through your House of Communication and Short Journey’s, take their iconoclastic lead if you really need to do something and then perhaps choose to exit a situation rather than making comments that will no doubt lead to further heated words. Mars going through your Foundation Area and moving into a testy angle with Neptune could find you feeling pessimistic about whether or not you’re being understood by someone close. At this point we’re back to where we started, so I guess you’ll just have to bite your tongue and be patient.

Aries- With Mercury, Venus, and Neptune all behind the scenes for you this week in the ultra-sensitive sign of Pisces you could find yourself feeling a lot more reflective and poetic than usual. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Public Image have been throwing you a lot of challenges as of late, which no doubt has transformed how you’ve been feeling about yourself. Jupiter in your House of Philosophy will have you pondering all of this and more as a New Moon in your sign compels you to move upward and onward through the anxiety and frustration that rebellious Uranus in rigid Taurus is causing in your House of Self Worth. If all this seems like it’s too much and you’re looking for an escape, Mars in your House of Local Affairs can no doubt furnish you with the necessary distractions. However, if you’re more concerned about finding the real you then I’m afraid you’re going to need to wade through a little more insecurity first. As the song goes, “The Harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all……”

Taurus- Now that unpredictable Uranus has entered your sign and will be there for the next 7 years, get ready to be dragged kicking and screaming out of your comfort zone. The New Moon in Aries behind the scenes this week will likely affect you like waving a red bandana in front of a Bull, but before you come charging out with your head down, realize that blindly reacting to circumstances out of annoyance can lead to some very ignoble outcomes. After all, it’s the matador who usually wins the bullfight while the bull ends up dead. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Philosophy are the dynamic duo that have been preparing you for this coming psychological revolution in your life, supported in turn by wise Jupiter in your House of Transformation. “All a man can do when death smiles at him is smile back….” If you can just manage to breathe and calm down for a second Neptune, Mercury, and Venus in your House of Groups are precisely the teachers who can show you how to relax and go with the flow…….So, with all due respect, shut up and listen.

Gemini- Neptune, Mercury, and Venus in your House of Public Image aligning with Saturn and Pluto in your House of Transformation are all no doubt bringing out your most chameleonic tendencies (which are considerable) however, try not to thumb your nose too much at your detractors now. The New Moon in aggressive Aries and your House of Groups could see a concerted effort by those who are not fans to not only bring you down, but to throw your ass out as well. Mars in your sign will make you want to come out swinging and no doubt Uranus behind the scenes would concur. With that in mind, watch your mouth and try to make sure that whomever it is you think you’re fighting doesn’t turn out to be yourself. Biting off that nose of yours to spite your face would be stupid, stupid, stupid.

Cancer- This week’s New Moon in impetuous Aries will be in your House of Public Image, which could mean it’s makeover time!!! Mars behind the scenes will likely serve as a major motivating factor behind this attitude, while at the same time rebellious Uranus in your House of Groups will make it hard for you to give up all those bad habits that you just love to engage in with your friends. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Friends (and enemies) will probably be asking you to review all those who currently have security clearances in your life, after all, you don’t want your fondest hopes and dreams being dashed by a hater camouflaged as a besty who encourages you to burn bridges today and worry about shit tomorrow. Neptune, Mercury, and Venus in your House of Philosophy will be all about love, however, make sure you’re planting those seeds in your own garden before you worry about undermining yourself to please somebody else.

Leo- With the New Moon in Aries in your House of Philosophy and Neptune, Mercury, and Venus all in the mutable, touchy-feely sign of Pisces and your House of Transformation, the notion of changing anything in your life now probably seems like a somewhat cool but distant idea. Be careful of making “should I or shouldn’t I” your mantra, especially with Saturn and Pluto in your House of Daily Routines keepin’ it real with responsibility after responsibility and Uranus in your House of Career throwing you curveball after curveball until you can hit the junk. You need to do something besides maintaining your status quo, especially when the users and takers have you hamstrung with their quid pro quo. Jupiter in your House of Creativity won’t be there forever, so this is the time for you to think big and bust a move…and I don’t mean on the Playstation!!!

Virgo- This week’s fiery New Moon in Aries will be in your House of Transformation, while at the same time you’ll be having Neptune, Mercury, and Venus pirouetting through your House of Relationships next door. Translation? Don’t let a partner distract you from what you know you need to do for yourself. Have your radar up and all your feelers out; if they can’t bully you then they’ll try to manipulate you by whining or crying or whatever other evil, pathetic device they can come up with. Uranus in your House of Philosophy will give you two choices on how to deal with this kind of bullshit; stress yourself out or do what you gotta do. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Creativity have been preparing you for this so be willing to kamikaze your way to your dreams if necessary. That means if they try to make it them or the relationship, pull the pin on the grenade because I have news for you; they…..ain’t……going…..anywhere. This is a power struggle and you have the power! Get it? Got it? Good!!!

Libra- Saturn and Pluto at the root of your chart have been shaking your world like an earthquake for the past few months and now Neptune, Mercury, and Venus are making your daily life seem like the funhouse hall of mirrors in “The Lady From Shanghai.” There are two ways this situation can be dealt with; you can destroy all the mirrors until you hit what’s real, or you can have fun, after all, it is a fun house and it’s not like you won’t eventually find your way out, right? The New Moon in your House of Partnerships would suggest help is on the way, so take a moment to think about how whoever is coming to your aid would react to ton of broken glass? See what I mean? Uranus in your House of Transformation would indicate you’re on the verge of crossing between worlds and Mars in your House of Philosophy would suggest that you should march proudly forward. You’re about to get the life you’ve earned……Now if that scares you, take a moment to think about exactly what it is you’ve been doing….and why?

Scorpio- We are body, mind, and spirit. This week’s New Moon will be in your House of Health and the martial sign of Aries, that’s your body. Neptune, Mercury, and Venus will be in the transcendental sign of Pisces and your House of Creativity, that’s your spirit. Saturn and Pluto, the planets of revolution, will be in your Third House and that’s your mind. You may be facing a specific challenge now in your life, but the possible rewards you could gain across the board by addressing this problem as a full spectrum issue affecting body, mind, and spirit will likely yield an outcome you never would have dreamed of. There is a popular saying, “The Buddha is in a blade of grass,” meaning the possibility for Buddhahood exists everywhere. If you can understand that then you will probably also realize that the Buddha exists within all of us as well. The trick to realizing your Buddhahood is to deal with your immediate reality as something that needs to be addressed by your body, mind, and spirit together. Do what you need to do, fully, and it will create the Buddha you were meant to be.

Sagittarius- Sag is an outgoing sign, but it is also an eccentric one, meaning that you Centaurs can be known to hide. With a lot of conflicting influences going on now in the heavens you might be thinking that the safest place for you to be is behind the scenes….wrong! Neptune, Mercury, and Venus at your Foundation would be encouraging you to stay out of sight, however the New Moon in Aries and your House of Fun is yelling “Party!!!” Saturn and Pluto in your House of Self Worth represent that sense of ambition you just can’t keep down, while Uranus in your House of Routines is likely telling you the status quo is bullshit, be a rebel. Of course this cross talk is confusing, but within chaos is an implicate order we just haven’t recognized yet and the only way to get a glimpse of the method behind the madness is to engage. In other words, get out there……because if you don’t, as Jimi Hendrix would say, “It’s Comin’ to gitcha”!!!!!

Capricorn- Saturn and Pluto in your sign now are probably causing you to want to keep things under wraps, but just like in the Handmaiden’s Tale there is a revolution brewing under the surface that can’t be denied. The New Moon in Aries at the bottom of your chart is setting the detonations, while Jupiter behind the scenes in his home sign of Sagittarius is passing out the revolutionary leaflets. Uranus in your House of Creativity is organizing the guerilla fighters and Neptune, Mercury, and Venus in your House of Communication are composing the anthem that will inflame people’s hearts and make them take to the streets. So how do you feel about this? Yay, or Meh….? You’re a tough sign, but do you want to continue to suffer in responsible silence or would you rather risk something in glorious uncertainty? I know, I know, you always get the tough questions.

Aquarius- If you’ve been holding back saying something that really needs to be expressed then I have some bad news; nothing is going to get better until you come clean. Saturn and Pluto behind the scenes are constantly reminding you what’s at risk if you buck the status quo, while on the other hand Neptune, Mercury, and Venus in your House of Self Worth represent your conscience that just won’t shut up. Likely it will all come down to the New Moon in Aries in your House of Communication, which will probably make you speak your peace with the same sense of urgency like being hungry makes one want to eat. Mars in your House of Creativity will also have a big role to play in this because, let’s face it, you’re bored with the rules and when it gets to that point, well, you just can’t help yourself, can you? Make sure you have the proper accelerant before you set that bridge on fire…. And oh yeah, an escape route too.

Pisces- Saturn and Pluto in your House of Dreams have held your nose to the grindstone for a long time now and even though you’re getting closer to a much anticipated goal you can’t help but feel a little ambivalent about the whole thing. Why is that? Having Neptune and Mercury so close together in your sign now doesn’t help, if anything those two are known for their mixed messages and vague, mirage-like ideas. The new Moon in Aries is also contributing to all this, but rather from a rebellious “do I really want this” point of view. Add to that Uranus in your House of Communication making you edgy so that you don’t want to talk about anything and, well, what is there to do? Finish what you started, that’s when things will begin to feel new and exciting.

We’re now experiencing the longest government shutdown in our country’s history….After giving it some thought, I would be willing to compromise the money for a wall if it could be built around the Mafia in the White House and the cowardly Republicans in the Senate… then I would add some bars on the windows and the rest of us could get on with being Americans…..what do you think?

Aries- Having Mars in your sign for approximately the next month should give you a significant burst of energy, especially this week as he aligns with Venus in your House of Philosophy to inspire you to believe that the world is your oyster. Add Jupiter to this mix and luck should literally be falling from the skies. In the meantime, Neptune behind the scenes will likely inspire practical Saturn with some extra imagination so that whatever you focus your considerable energy on will likely be a success. The only downside to all this could be a square between Neptune and Jupiter, which might see you as the poster child for the saying, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Realize you’re ahead of the curve and try to lighten up.

Taurus- Venus in your House of Transformation working in tandem with Mars behind the scenes could make you feel like you need to break out of your daily routine and try something new. Jupiter right there alongside Venus would indicate that thinking outside of the box could lead to some unexpected luck, although try to look before you leap, especially as Neptune in your House of Friends moves into a square with Jupiter and someone who you think has your back actually doesn’t. Be careful. Even though you may be feeling adventurous now, don’t ignore Saturn moving toward Pluto in your House of Philosophy; changes are coming, just try to make sure that you’re going with the flow and not being led around by your impatience.

Gemini- As Venus and Jupiter move closer together in your House of Partnerships and align with Mars in your House of Groups, it will be easy for you to believe that you’re pulling all the right strings and that nothing can beat you. The fatal flaw here might be the transit of Neptune through your House of Public Image as it squares both Venus and Jupiter and you slowly start to realize all those people you thought were your friends and allies actually aren’t. In fact, as Saturn and Pluto move through your House of Shared Resources you may actually get quite a rude awakening as you watch the rats you though you were in control of trampling each other to get off your suddenly sinking ship. As the Sun moves into Aquarius to end the week it will be squaring unpredictable Uranus, which could find you under sudden attack from someone you least expected. As you will soon learn, there is no honor among thieves.

Cancer- Neptune transiting through your House of Philosophy as of late has probably had you feeling like you don’t know which end is up as you oscillate back and forth between feeling energetic and exhausted. Nevertheless, this week could turn out to be a real surprise as Venus and Jupiter move closer together in your House of Work and slide into a power alignment with Mars in your House of Career. If you’re willing to be a little more aggressive than usual you could manipulate yourself into a better position than you ever thought was possible; have a little faith and let the force be with you. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Partnerships moving into a mutual aspect with Mars will be asking you to rethink the power dynamic in just about all of your relationships. After all, why is it that you’re the only one who feels guilty expressing (and going after) what you need?

Leo- As the Sun moves into your House of Relationships you will likely notice that your perspective is changing about your interactions with others. Mars in your House of Philosophy is no doubt fueling this new attitude, especially as he aligns with Venus entering your House of Creativity and you feel a need to re-examine exactly what it is you’re getting out of some of your long term associations. Neptune in your House of Transformation squaring Jupiter in your House of Fun will no doubt burst the bubble that makes you believe you have to take care of everything instead of others doing for themselves, while Saturn and Pluto in your House of Routines will be saying, “enough of this shit” as you leave the vampires to their own devices and hang up the “Out to Lunch” sign.

Virgo- Mars in your House of Transformation aligning with both Venus and Jupiter in your House of Foundations are trying to tell you, “if not now, when?” in regards to making a move toward a long held dream. At the same time an extended transit of Neptune in your House of Relationships is squaring Venus and Jupiter and likely making you feel worried about what the reaction of a partner may be when you announce what you want to do. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Creativity would indicate that if you ever hope to change your situation then you should start laying the foundations now. When the Sun enters your House of Routines later in the week and moves into a square with Uranus on the cusp between your Houses of Transformation and Philosophy, the writing will be on the wall for your circumstances to change no matter what you do, so, you might as well take the tiger by the tail instead of waiting to see if he eats you first.

Libra- This is the time when you should be reaching out to see if the world is interested in whatever it is you have. Charming Venus and lucky Jupiter are together in your House of Communication and as they combine with Mars in your House of Relationships you should have the charisma and energy to accomplish whatever you have your sights set on. Saturn and Pluto in your House of Foundations would further indicate that the time for meaningful change has come, and as they both align with Neptune in your House of Routines you’ll have the correct mix of imagination and empirical awareness to forge ahead and blaze some new trails. If you’re still worried about how things will pan out try to remember, having confidence means believing in yourself enough to take a chance. After all, sometimes success is an intuitive thing, not a logical one.

Scorpio- Venus and Jupiter in your House of Self Worth aligning with Mars in your House of Work this week should end up giving you the golden touch so that everything you attempt will likely yield success. On the other hand, as Neptune squares Jupiter and Venus, make sure you’re not offering all this talent to others out of the goodness of your heart, especially if there could be a little more in it for you. The reality is you’ll probably not going to be offered anything extra for your efforts, which means you’ll have to do a little hustling. Saturn and Pluto together in your House of Communication should give you the chutzpah to broker the optimum deal, while Neptune in your House of Creativity should make you quite charming (in a very non-threatening way) so what are you waiting for? “Show me the money!!!”

Sagittarius- As Jupiter and Venus transit your sign this week you’ll likely be sparkling like one of Liberace’s sports jackets. Add to this the fact that Mars is moving through your House of Creativity and it would be fair to say that very little should be able to stop you now, that is, if you can mange not to get distracted. I mention this because Neptune has been lingering for a while at the bottom of your chart, which means that it’s squaring that lucky combo of Jupiter and Venus and making it quite possible that you could feel so good now that you’ll want to relax and goof off instead of pushing ahead and making all this surplus charisma work for you. Let Saturn in your House of Self Worth show you what’s necessary as he barks like a Drill Sargent and cracks his whip, because face it, that’s exactly what your lazy ass needs if you’re ever going to make something of yourself.

Capricorn- With Jupiter and Venus behind the scenes in your chart aligning with Mars at your Foundation, you can’t help but feel as if the earth is moving under your feet every time a certain someone gives you that look. At the same time, Uranus on the cusp of your House of Romance is aligning with the Sun in your House of Self Worth, making it feel as if one of Cupid’s arrows has hit your Achilles Heel and you are falling into a topsy- turvy world where you’re as disoriented as Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole. Don’t worry though…in a way it’s kind of fun, isn’t it? There’s nothing like a little romance to make you feel as if you’re being born and dying, all at the same time; totally transcendental, hay? Hahaha.

Aquarius- You may get a very important lesson this week about confidence, so make sure you’re paying attention. Your usual approach is to go right after what you want, however, it may actually be in your best interests at this time if you can instead be patient and let the world come to you. Mars in your House of Communication would speak to your ambition, while Venus and Jupiter in your House of Groups would speak to you having a great deal of charm and finesse to direct these desires constructively. Neptune in your House of Self Worth is more about intuition than logic, while at the same time Saturn, Mercury, and Pluto behind the scenes will require you to be patient and attentive. All in all if you can center yourself and go with the flow there should be no stopping you.

Pisces- You should feel quite ambitious this week as Mars in your House of Self Worth aligns nicely with charming Venus and lucky Jupiter in your House of Career. However, with Neptune in your sign there is always a chance that you could get distracted, although with Saturn, Mercury, and Pluto all in your House of Dreams you should be able to keep your eye on the prize and move steadily toward achieving your goals. As the Sun enters your House of Secrets later in the week it might be a good idea to reflect on what’s driving you and make sure that all your urges to succeed are coming from a healthy place and not any subconscious feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. Success is feeling good about yourself and then acting on it, not needing to achieve something to feel good about yourself.

Well, Bart O’Kavanaugh has been confirmed and I have a feeling all of his cronies who couldn’t recall anything are probably raising a glass now in their respective country clubs. On the other side, I salute all those who came forward (both men and women) to support the allegations of both Ms. Ford and Ms. Ramirez, too bad the FBI was told not to talk to you.

But most of all, as far as Mr. Saturn is concerned, Christine Blasey Ford is a true heroine who showed more Judicial temperament, more courage, and more leadership than whining Bart did.

So now all of you Ladies out there (as well as the men who love and respect you) know what you need to do in November. We can give ourselves a Holiday Gift of a Blue Congress so we can start to begin to fix this mess we’re in. Let Justice be done on the rebound.

Aries- The week will begin with a New Moon in your House of Relationships squaring Pluto in your House of Career, which could mean the time has come for you to re-evaluate your associations with certain colleagues. Venus retrograde in your House of Transformation squaring Mars in your House of Dreams will also involve your professional associations, particularly in regards to how some of your commitments may actually be holding you back from recognizing your full potential. As Mercury changes sign from Libra to Scorpio it will join Venus in your House of Transformation and subsequently oppose Uranus retrograde in your House of Self Worth, signaling that perhaps it’s time to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk in regards to what you can no longer live with if your dreams are ever going to come true.

Taurus- If you’ve been feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day to find time for what’s important to you, then maybe it’s time to eliminate some of the stuff you just do without really thinking about it. The New Moon in your House of Routines will be squaring Pluto in your House of Philosophy, meaning that if your time is at a premium, then you should be reorganizing it based on your priorities and not anyone else’s. In support of this, Venus retrograde in your House of Relationships squaring Mars in your House of Career would further speak to all the creative energy you have pent up due to demands being made on you by individuals too lazy to do for themselves. As Mercury enters your House of Relationships and opposes Uranus, don’t be afraid to kick these freeloaders to the curb, you’ll be glad you did.

Gemini- The New Moon in your House of Creativity squaring Pluto in your House of Transformation this week will be about letting go of whatever you feel is weighing you down, whether that be a person, idea, or situation. Venus retrograde squaring Mars could find you wanting to either step away or completely revamp a situation at work, just make sure you’re not cutting off your nose to spite your face. Mercury entering into the secretive sign of Scorpio to oppose Uranus retrograde behind the scenes could see you having to scramble because of something you did in the past that is coming back to haunt you. If you can take the hit for this indiscretion then come clean and tell the truth. Continuing to lie may just make things worse and may even get too out of hand even for your prodigious talents at fabrication.

Cancer- The New Moon in your House of Foundations squaring Pluto in your House of Relationships could find you re-evaluating some friendships that may have run their course. You hate to let go of stuff, but this may just be a time when you have to let someone drift away into the void of their own ego. This may end up being a blessing in disguise as Venus retrograde in your House of Creativity rubs passionately against Mars in your House of Transformation and you suddenly discover that with one less person to worry about in your life you suddenly have more time to pursue something far more interesting, like whatever you damn well please. As Mercury enters into your House of Creativity and opposes Uranus in your House of Dreams, take a chance on trusting an inspiration, you may find you have what it takes to make yourself ecstatically happy!

Leo- If you’ve been working too much and neglecting someone special in your life then you better just stop that shit right now! Venus retrograde squaring Mars in your House of Relationships would indicate that being too tired after work is not going to fly for very much longer, so if you don’t want to end up sleeping alone then you’d better find that lost libido of yours. The New Moon in your House of Communication squaring Pluto would suggest that much of the mojo you invest in work is entirely misplaced, especially if half of it is spent complaining how much you’re suffering there. Why don’t you redirect some of your whining into a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, or at least a willingness to pay attention to someone other than your disgruntled self? Maybe a little Whoopee will help to bust through whatever is damming you up and you’ll turn into the courageous adventurer we all know you are?

Virgo- The week will start with a New Moon in your House of Self Worth and it will be squaring Pluto in your House of Creativity, meaning that if you’ve been looking to break out of a rut then this is the time to do it! Venus retrograde in your House of Communication will be squaring Mars in your House of Routines, so why don’t you try a little experiment? Like stop doing shit you don’t like to do, especially if you’re just using it to distract yourself from what you really want to do (but may be too scared to try)? As Mercury enters the sign of Scorpio it will be aligning with Saturn in your House of Creativity, which will in turn be aligning with Uranus in your House of Philosophy; in other words, if not now, when in regards to your dreams? If not here, where? Think about it…..but not for long before you DO something….anything…..as long as it’s different than your same old, same old.

Libra- As the New Moon in your sign squares Pluto in your House of Foundations, you can rest assured some big changes are coming, you just won’t know what they are until they happen. Mars in your House of Creativity should mean you’re up for whatever comes along, while Venus retrograde in your House of Self Worth would indicate that what will see you through this time won’t necessarily be based on what you have, but rather who you are and the magickal power of what your essence will attract. Do you believe? As Mercury enters your House of Self Worth to oppose Uranus retrograde in your House of Transformation, stop trying to imagine what the bumps in the road may be and instead “Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel……”Let it roll baby, roll….”

Scorpio- With Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury all in your sign now you should have the charm, insight, and eloquence to get whatever you want…..So, what do you want? The New Moon behind the scenes in Libra angling with Pluto in your House of Thinking would suggest that whatever you would hope to accomplish will likely have more to do with what you’re willing to let go of rather than worrying about what you can acquire. I know that sounds more Zen than you’d care to hear, but with the Lunar Arc this week progressing through the depths of your mind, whatever you would hope to find in the future will likely be more about how you can ask questions creatively (which is really voicing your intuitions) rather than remaining in the comfort zone of your current understandings and getting meaningless assurances of what you already know.

Sagittarius- The New Moon in your House of Groups angling against Pluto in your House of Self Worth will be requiring you to move past the judgments of others, especially if you’ve said or done something as of late that was a matter of conscience. Mars in your House of Communications squaring Venus behind the scenes would indicate that your words have had a great deal of power, just realize that telling the truth can make you just as many enemies as friends and there’s no accounting for taste. As Mercury, the planet of communication, moves behind the scenes in your chart, make sure to get back to a familiar routine in which you can relax and feel productive again; leave fixing the world to those who are arrogant enough to believe they can. You did your bit and you should be proud.

Capricorn- The New Moon will be in your House of Career to start the week and it will be squaring Pluto in your sign, meaning that you will likely be challenged to let go of something you might have once thought was important but right now may not be all that and a bag of chips. Mars in your House of Self Worth squaring Venus retrograde in your House of Dreams could either motivate you to try and hold on like a pit bull or else let go like a fist when you open your hand; it’s up to you so make sure you’re seeing the forest for the trees before allowing yourself to worry that all may be lost. As Mercury moves into your House of Dreams to square Uranus retrograde in your House of Creativity, you may just discover that whatever has departed from your life may just turn out to be a blessing in disguise by providing a space for something better.

Aquarius- Mars in your sign squaring Venus retrograde in your House of Career may have you scrambling desperately to try and salvage what is seemingly a lost cause, especially since an unpredictable Uranus retrograde is lingering in your House of Foundations to oppose Mercury as it enters the revealing and often blunt sign of Scorpio. Something you had hoped would remain hidden is now going to be in the open for all to see. The New Moon in your House of Philosophy squaring Pluto behind the scenes will be trying to tell you that ambition has been your undoing in this matter, not some conspiracy on the part of those who have asked sensible questions that you simply felt above having to answer. Only the true king can pull the sword from the stone….Amen.

Pisces- Sometimes the journey to make a dream come true is meant to change us rather than our getting what we think we want. The New Moon in your House of Transformation squaring Pluto in your House of Dreams could perhaps be indicating that this is such a time or, on the other hand, any delays that are occurring now could be hinting that the time is not right yet for your ambitions to be fulfilled? Mars behind the scenes is probably making it hard for you to accept this, especially as it squares Venus retrograde in your House of Philosophy, which keeps your desire in front of you like a carrot baiting a donkey. As Mercury enters the secretive sign of Scorpio and your House of Philosophy, an important piece of information could be revealed in the near future that will either indicate you should remain patient, or else move on once and for all.

What a shit show this past week has been, huh? I would refer you back to my Aquarius comments from last week as well as to my Aquarius comments for this week…Maybe Bart O’Kavanaugh should be reading Mr. Saturn’s Stars? At any rate, there’s finally going to be an FBI investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against the SCOTUS nominee, let’s just hope all 3 complaints are fully vetted and it’s not just a cherry pick chosen by the Republican majority. Oh, and a warning to the FBI Agents that may have to talk to Kavanaugh, he’s a screamer…. and make sure you bring some tissues.

Aries- This may be a time when you’re willing to step out from behind the mask you usually wear in public and reveal who you truly are. Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Transformation and squaring Mars in your House of Groups will likely have you chaffing against any status quo expectations being presented to you, while Mercury in your House of Relationships squaring Pluto in your house of Public Image will inspire you to speak the truth and/or find out the real deal in whatever situations you may find yourself involved in. You are by nature an individualistic sign, so if you’ve caught yourself as of late compromising more than you should, now is the time when you may just decide to throw caution to the wind and demand, as The Pointer Sister’s sang, “It’s Got to be Real.”

Taurus- Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Relationships will have you re-examining your connections to various people in your life, especially with Mars in your House of Public Image squaring the Goddess of Love and putting pressure on you to be “A Man (or Woman) for All Seasons.” Pluto in your House of Philosophy squaring Mercury should see some important info coming to light about some things that may have been said about you behind the scenes that will end up being quite hurtful. It’s important to realize that the individuals who made these statements are clearly not your friends. With Jupiter also passing through your House of Relationships you’ll likely take the high road regarding this matter, which is fine, just make sure you remember the old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”

Gemini- There may be pressures on you now to deliver at work and it’s important that you find the proper motivation in order to adequately rise to the challenge. Mars in your House of Philosophy may find you feeling a need to rebel against what you consider to be unfair demands by a superior, although with Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Relationships and aligning with Saturn in your House of Legacies, it may just be that you’ll have to suck it up and do what’s gotta be done. Pluto is also in your House of Legacies and as it aligns with Jupiter in your House of Work those two planets together are about wealth, which could mean what you suffer through today you will benefit from tomorrow. “Go the distance.”

Cancer- We never know what we’re capable of until we’re challenged and this may just be one of those weeks for you. Pluto in your House of Relationships is being squared by Mercury in your House of Foundations, which means that facts may come to light now involving someone you were convinced was one way (perhaps a family member) but is actually another…..surprise!!! What’s important is not that they’re a shit, but that Venus going retrograde in your House of Creativity and squaring Mars in your House of Transformation will see you leaping like a ninja out ahead of the curve and doing all the damage control necessary to reduce your losses (and disappointment) to a minimum. Jupiter is also in your House of Creativity, and as he aligns with Pluto you may find that when the dust clears even if you’ve lost respect for one person in your life, you may have gained an unexpected new ally in the process.

Leo- You are the sign of leadership, however, sometimes followers can own a leader if the person in charge needs the ego gratification that supplication can provide. Mars in your House of Relationships now represents the demands that your various relationships are putting on you, while Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Foundations is you remembering what you need and how you’re not getting it. What to do? Mercury in your House of Communication squaring Pluto would suggest you start setting some boundaries, although the needy folks around you might not appreciate it, but after all, they’re the problem, aren’t they? Uranus in your House of Public Image aligning with Saturn is all about you doing you, so for the time being if doing you means going solo, then so be it! “I am Legend.”

Virgo- Pressures on the job could actually become a motivation for you to rethink how you gave up a dream not too long ago because you were discouraged. Venus in your House of Communication squaring Mars in your House of Work will undoubtedly help you to realize how much energy you’re being forced to spend now doing something you don’t like, while Mercury in your House of Self Worth squaring Pluto in your House of Creativity will have you feeling all the subconscious creativity you’re holding back, simply because it’s making you ill. Saturn is also in your House of Creativity, and as it aligns with Uranus in your House of Philosophy, this is the time for you to bust out and resume chasing down that original dream…”Ba ba ba, ba bop bop, I feel free”

Libra- Mercury in your sign is making you want to share with the world the insights you have struggled to acquire, however, Pluto in your House of Foundations is asking you to be patient because you really have no idea yet how much these ideas are going to affect the world’s view of you as well. Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Self Worth is squaring Mars in your House of Creativity, meaning that something right now which seems obvious to you may actually be quite a revolutionary (and mysterious) viewpoint for someone else. Let Jupiter in your House of Earnings aligning with Pluto give you the confidence to be patient that your time is coming. In the meantime, pay close attention as structured and organized Saturn aligns with Uranus retrograde in your House of Transformation to pave the way for the new life you will soon embark upon.

Scorpio- As Mercury behind the scenes squares Pluto in your House of Thinking and Communication, be prepared for a perspective you have on a certain situation to change quite suddenly. In addition, be prepared for the situation itself to change as well, especially since Venus is going retrograde in your sign and moving back into a square with Mars in your House of Home and Foundations. Which came first, the writing on the wall, or you thinking how you could use a change? It doesn’t really matter because you should feel confident that your spidey-sense was right on the money and everything seems to be going in your favor regardless. Saturn in your House of siblings aligning with Uranus retrograde in your House of Relationships could find you revisiting a weird misunderstanding from the past with a family member. Don’t expect a different resolution this time around because even if you have changed, they haven’t.

Sagittarius- As Venus begins her backward motion in your House of Hidden Things, expect memories of either unrequited love or the one that got away to haunt you now. Mars will be squaring Venus from your House of Communication, so if you feel a strong urge to look up someone from your past, don’t. You’re no longer the same person you were and going down memory lane could end up with you regressing in a very unhealthy way. Pluto in your House of Self Worth squaring Mercury in your House of Dreams represents the need for you to face the truth and acknowledge the hard lesson about love you received from this person, thereby determining whether or not you learned anything. Of course there’s a very good possibility you’ve been hiding in a world of illusion since then, and if that’s the case then this is the time to realize it, once and for all.

Capricorn- With Saturn and Pluto in your sign, the revolution is no doubt raging, both within you and in the surrounding world. Pluto is squaring Mercury in your House of Public Image, so if you find that you’re still a little lax about setting up boundaries, then perhaps someone may come crashing through this week to remind you of the work yet to be done. On the other hand, Saturn aligning nicely with Uranus retrograde in your House of Creativity will help you to be like Felix the Cat with his magick bag of tricks so that you can get right to fixing any damage that may occur. Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Dreams may mean it’s time to curb either your expenses or leisure time, especially if you have found that you are currently distracted from what you’ve hoped to accomplish. If you can be honest with yourself, then Jupiter aligning with Pluto should give you the confidence to get right back on track.

Aquarius- Mars in your sign squaring Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Career may require you to revisit something that might have gotten lost in your recent surge forward toward new foes and new battles. Pluto behind the scenes has been digging around and Mercury in your House of Philosophy has been showing you some really crazy secrets that could send the whole shithouse up in smoke if you were that type; well, are you? Noble Jupiter is also in your House of Career and as he aligns with Pluto back there in the shadows hopefully he will advise you to be prudent (and hopefully you’ll listen). A time of reckoning is coming for the bad guys, so just call the sheriff and don’t try to make a citizen’s arrest. Saturn behind the scenes aligning with Uranus at your Foundation would suggest you just do your part and try to remain humble; as the saying goes, “good things come to those that wait.” Surprise!!!

Pisces- If you haven’t been satisfied as of late, and I don’t mean with the material quality of your life but rather with the content of your character, then Mars in your Subconscious area squaring Venus going station/retrograde in your House of Philosophy might make this a good time to do some serious inner work with a qualified professional. Mercury in your House of Transformation squaring Pluto would reinforce this point as those two together are about finding what’s hidden. Neptune is your sign’s ruler and having it at home now could end up being either a gift or a curse, just like a parent can alternately be a source of frustration as well as love. Either way you need to find out who you truly are, and if that’s your motivation at this point in time, then having your ruling planet in your sign will probably be a source of enlightenment rather than illusion. Namaste.

I will be using a term in this weeks horoscopes that some of you may not be familiar with, it’s called the Via Combusta or “Fiery Way” and it refers to an area in the chart that runs from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio. As you can probably guess from the name, this stretch of the Zodiac is considered a no man’s land of sorts, where if things could possibly break bad they likely will, especially if it involves a transit of the Moon (which just happens to be there this week). In fact, among practitioners of Horary or “Predictive” Astrology, it is generally felt that if the Moon is transiting the Via Combusta it is usually best to simply trash the whole horoscope and try casting another one after the Moon has moved on.

I hope the inclusion of this interesting little tidbit will prove to be helpful, as some of you will end up being affected by this controversial transit over the coming week.

Aries- With Marsretrograde in your House of Dreams squaring Uranus in your House of Earnings, don’t plan on spending any money this week that you don’t actually have in your hand, not that you won’t eventually get it (by the time Venus aligns with Jupiter over the weekend you probably will) but cash flow problems could be a distinct problem at this time. Neptune retrograde in your House of What is Hidden and Pluto retrograde in your House of Career will likely mean something you’ve been working on for a while could get delayed, which could actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise, so try not to lose your shit, okay? The Lunar Arc through the Via Combusta might end up testing a friendship so try to walk away if someone just isn’t getting it, it’s their problem, not yours.

Taurus- As the Lunar Arc moves through your Houses of Work and Relationships it will be transiting the Via Combusta, so be careful in your interactions with co-workers, especially toward the end of the week when a Scorpio Moon conjuncts Jupiter; let any catty or snarky remarks slide, you’ll be glad you did, especially as Mars retrograde in your House of Career squares up with Uranus in your sign. Getting down in the mud with someone who’s just not worth it could very well have you biting off your nose to spite your face, so be careful. With Jupiter now direct in your House of Relationships and moving into alignment with Venus in your House of Romance, the weekend could end up dealing you a lucky encounter that will make up for any other crap that may happen this week. Keep your eyes open.

Gemini- Have you ever heard the phrase, “don’t shit where you eat?” It speaks directly to workplace romances so try to keep it in mind before you let anything happen between you and a co-worker, especially since the Lunar Arc will be transiting the Via Combusta and that can be trouble, particularly with Uranus behind the scenes in your chart squaring Mars retrograde. Make sure not to let a minor flirtation turn into an unhealthy attraction or, God forbid, the passion for an ill-fated affair just because you may be bored and need a little excitement. Neptune transiting your House of Public Image will make anything you do that’s even a little shady look infinitely worse, so don’t even think about being a home wrecker or sneaking around anywhere; people will hate you for it and you could get hurt.

Cancer- All you Cancer parents out there be on your toes. The Lunar Arc transiting the Via Combusta will be going through your Houses of Home and Children, where it will first square and then sextile Pluto in your House of Relationships. This could mean that you need to start treating your grown up baby like an adult if their age indicates that it’s time they started acting like one. Or perhaps you literally do have babies, if that’s the case then you may need to start laying down some rules (and penalties) if these little ones are needing some boundaries. Jupiter is also in your House of Children and as it aligns with Neptune in your House of Philosophy you will want to be both generous and helpful to your offspring, just make sure that when Jupiter aligns with Venus in Virgo over the weekend that you have not lost the farm due to your willingness to make everyday Christmas regardless if someone’s been good or not.

Leo- Try to be more sensitive around family members this week as the Lunar Arc transits the Via Combusta and your Houses of Communication and Home. Mars retrograde in your House of Relationships will be squaring Uranus in your House of Career, so if your frustrated for whatever reason at work try not to bring that anger back to the hacienda if you can. Particularly since Jupiter is also in your House of Home now and when that Via Combusta Moon hits the King of the Planets some real down and dirty exchanges could result. If you can manage to keep your frustration on the down low until Venus eventually advances through your House of Self Worth and aligns with Jupiter, then the charming side of you will be all anyone sees. Until then, use the Neptune transit through your House of Transformation to put up the best glamour you can.

Virgo- You try to be respectful, but if anyone violates your particular sense of decency then all bets are off, so just make sure that as the Lunar Arc transits the Via Combusta and your Houses of Self Worth and Communication that you don’t end up being an unwanted policeman in someone else’s district. Uranus in your House of Philosophy squaring off with Mars retrograde in your House of Routines could have you incensed at an unexpected mishap that you feel is the result of some unfairness either on the job or at home; it’s one thing to be annoyed, but please, try not to get emotional about it as you may end up making the situation worse instead of better. As Venus moves through your sign she will eventually align with Jupiter over the weekend, therefore, if you can keep your criticisms of a person or a situation within reasonable boundaries, you could find yourself the unexpected Master of Ceremonies aboard a happy ship sailing into next week.

Libra- Your natural sense of fairness could be challenged this week as the Lunar Arc traverses the Via Combusta that runs between your sign and your House of Self Worth. Jupiter is also in that House of Self Worth so try to remain patient if someone without a clue tries to act like they know it all. Uranus in your House of Transformation squaring Mars retrograde in your House of Creativity could mean that the Universe has sent you this buffoon as an unwitting teacher, so try not to shoot the messenger. Instead, use Venus moving through your House of Inner Realization as a meditation on patience as she aligns with Jupiter, then let the Goddess calm the savage beast, just like the maiden closing the jaws of the lion in the Tarot Card titled “Strength.”

Scorpio- Are you ready for an adventure? Specifically into the dark confines of your self where all the Scorpionic Mysteries reside? A word to the wise, it ain’t going to be like Harry Potter and the Basilisk, more like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the giant squid, just sayin’. As the Lunar Arc this week goes through the Via Combusta, it will pass over your horizon (otherwise known as your Rising Sign) and emerge into the light like a piece of abstract art emerging from your subconscious. Neptune in your House of Creativity should be right in time with this, especially if it turns out you’re into the art thing. Uranus in your House of Relationships squaring Mars retrograde in your House of Foundations will probably end up making your intimate encounters about as Freudian as they can get, as a result, be prepared for partners to be a little in awe of you, as few can dazzle others with their darker sides better than the Scorpion. Some may think this mysterious part of you that’s being exposed is sexy, but that sort will be a dime a dozen. With Jupiter in your sign now, choose to gravitate toward those who can appreciate your Mystical side; they’ll be the keepers.

Sagittarius- Who are you really? The answer provided by the Lunar Arc passing through the Via Combusta this week will probably surprise a few folks, as that stretch of Zodiac for you goes over the cusp between the House of Groups and the House of Confinement, or the face you let the world see as opposed to the face you only reveal when the Moon is Full and it’s the Witching time. You usually wear your mask well, but with Uranus in your House of Healing and Mars retrograde in your House of Communication, you may not be able to keep the hounds locked up now if someone crosses your path at the wrong time. Saturn retrograde in your House of Self Worth might help to keep the beast in you at bay, but maybe whatever transpires will end up being about the victim’s lesson rather than the predator’s; with that said, anyone who messes with you now deserves whatever they get. Rrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Capricorn- This will likely be a testy week for you as Mars retrograde going through the sign of Aquarius and your House of Self Worth will be approaching an explosive square with Uranus in your House of Creativity. What others may be demanding of you now could turn out to be quite annoying, especially if you really need to be taking care of your own affairs. As Venus slowly moves into a lucky sextile with Jupiter in your House of Dreams, some of the demands being made of you now could inadvertently lead to the discovery of certain untapped resources within yourself that could turn out to be quite valuable. With Pluto and Saturn currently in your sign and both of them retrograde, it is a given that deep changes will be going on for you for a while, although occasionally you may get an unexpected break (like this week) and end up ahead of where you ordinarily would have been if you weren’t inconvenienced. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Aquarius- With Mars retrograde in your sign this is probably not the time to be pushing forward with any new projects, but don’t let anyone try to tell you that. Uranus in your House of Symbolic Foundations will provide the ants in your pants, while Saturn retrograde behind the scenes will provide the frustration, all you need now is the proper illusion and you’ll be all set to make a wonderfully stupid mistake. Jupiter in your House of Career aligning with Neptune in your House of Self Worth could fit the bill, as their particular combination of ego and fog should have you over extending yourself in truly epic ways. Mercury inconjunct Pluto will have you wanting to get to the truth, though as the Moon transits the Via Combusta across your Mid-heaven you won’t want veracity as much as you want attention, so the week will likely end with a spectacle, let’s just hope it’s not you falling off the high-wire; although Venus aligning with Jupiter will act as a safety a net, so you should be okay in the end. Whew!!!

Pisces- Trust could be a big issue for you now as the Moon crosses the Via Combusta, which spans your Houses of Transformation and Philosophy respectively. Jupiter will be there too and as he aligns with Neptune in your sign it’s not that you’ll be suspicious of anyone, on the contrary, if anything you’ll be too trusting and that could lead to some real problems, especially if it involves other peoples money (or lack thereof). Mars retrograde in your House of Confinement will likely have you throwing caution to the wind, and as he squares Uranus in your House of Communication whatever you overlook now out of impatience will most certainly come back to bite you on the ass in the near future. Mercury inconjuncting Pluto as it approaches its station/retrograde phase could have you listening to the wrong people, therefore, try not to let someone who wants to purchase something of yours convince you it’ll be okay if they owe you for it.
